Ok...I guess no go on small claims court, not enough to go on to make this worthwhile. I spoke to the secret service to make a report. They advised me to make a formal complaint with the county (number was given). Again, not fully encouraging.

So I guess I'll just leave it to the insurance cos for now and set aside some dough for the inevitable. There is cosmic balance, that biatch will receive her come uppance one fine day

F1 reminded me about karma, I'm cool about the situation now.

Thanks again for all your support

My windshield needs replacement. This week is costing me beaucoup dollars

I learnt that our windshield has a condensation sensor in addition to the rain sensor. The condensation sensor alone is not transferable and costs about 100 bucks.

Does anyone know if the standard windshield for the 325i is UV coated, in addition to the green band?

I drive about 25K-30K miles a year and most of it is around town. I gave up on comprehensive deductibles higher than 100 bucks since it seems my household replaces a windshield a year one average with three people driving. At this point I am relatively sure that I am way ahead of the game and comprehensive claims don't ding your premium. I have also become a pro at having the chips fixed within a day or two before they get out of control. Geico does it for free and they come to my house so it has made my life much easier. My Jeep has four fixes on it now and is holding on strong.
Be sure they don't try and stick you with aftermarket stuff. I have had mixed experiences with that. Some just aren't quite right...ever. Back when my kids were small, we had a Volvo wagon and some shithead kid threw a brick through the windshield. That was twelve years ago, we were living in an apartment and money was tight. That freekin windshield was $1000 bucks for the OEM part. My deductible was $750. Lesson learned. I hope you don't get hosed like I did. I still get pissed thinking about it. I found out two years ago in a passing conversation with my now adult daughter that it was some boy she rejected and took it out on mom and dad. I'm now wondering if she used us as her scapegoat. "My mom and dad don't want me talking to you anymore!" next thing you know, I got a red paver hanging in my new cars windshield!

P.S. I had nothing useful to offer as far as your questions were concerned, so I figured I would make it all about me!

Thanks Mr. F1 for sharing...

Yes, I'm with Geico as well. The thing is I only noticed the crack on Friday morning, I could've have sworn I had not seen it the day before. Strange.

Geico works with safelite and that's where I went. The tech who was actually pretty cool mentioned they would and could push for OEM especially given the MY of the car. They recommend the OEM, so I'm going with it.

My comprehensive deductible is $250 but at this rate I'll look into lowering it to $100 at the next renewal. This is the first cracked windshield in as long as I can remember.

I'll keep your story in mind if I ever have a daughter

cheers...

Yeah, they create problems you would never expect. Never occurred to me at the time.....hmmm, could this be adolescent romance gone bad? I've raised three daughters and MAN, they will make you nuts!

$250 is not bad, I know you may not drive as much as I do and clearly I must have a special tractor beam which attracts road hazards flying through the air. Conversely, (knock on wood) I don't seem to have problems with wheels and tires getting torn up by road hazards, so I guess I should be thankful for that!

Donny you sure do have a fan base here! 6 pages of "sorry to hear that"!! Guess that should make you feel better!

I have really busy with school work lately, I'll get back to you after I get it all taken care of and we can talk about that overlay idea some more!!

yes but frankly DC metro peeps would've done this for any other of their own. DC metro rocks :rocks:

I've been thinking about the overlays, glad you brought it up. When you have the time let's fool around with those. I'm leaning on the etched/frosted or silver CF materials
